Dereference All Axis removes the machine home position from Mach.
If you have home switches and you Reference the axis Mach has a starting point.
This starting point can then use the Soft Limits and other functions.
If you have your machine set to Reference in place then when you Reference an axis it is just where it is currently sitting.
Hope this helps

Answer Hello Bill_O.

I haven't used mach4 on a milling machine yet.
When you're done, give it a try.
Thank you very much.
